Dimorphotheca 

 aurantiaca hybrida. 



H.A. These hybrids are similar 

 in habit and size of bloom to the 

 beautiful Dimorphotheca auran- 

 tiaca, but range in color from 

 pure white to blush-white with 

 salmon glow and orange-salmon 

 reverse, creamy white with lemon 

 reverse, blush with chrome and 

 brown reverse, lemon with deep 

 brown reverse, canary-yellow, 

 soft salmon and salmon-orange. 

 The flowers have mostly a cen- 

 tral zone of another color and 

 they mostly have a dark center. 

 In conclusion we may state that 

 in our opinion they form the 

 most striking and prettiest 

 novelty sent out for several 

 years. Pkt. 25 cts. , 5 pkts. for $1 . 



Dimo rph otheca au rantiaca. (Orange Daisy.) h a. This 



* the best annual 



novelty of J909, and gave great satisfaction wherever grown. It is 

 very easy of culture, and it must be considered an amateur's favorite. 

 No one with a garden, no matter how small, should be without this 

 lovely, useful, rare and extremely showy annual from Namaqualand, 

 South Africa, which will soon become a great favorite in all countries 

 on account of its easy culture and beautifully colored flowers. The 

 plants, of very branching habit, grow about 12 to 15 inches high, and 

 are exceedingly profuse in flowering. Its Marguerite-like blossoms, 

 254 to 2K inches in diameter, show a unique glossy, rich orange-gold, 

 which brilliant coloring is rendered the more conspicuous by the 

 the dark-colored disc surrounded by a dark zone. This splendid 

 annual is well adapted for groups or borders ; it produces its pretty 

 flowers very early after being planted out in the open ground in 

 sunny situations, and will continue to flower during the summer 

 months. A bed in full bloom is a magnificent sight. Pkt. 10 cts., 3 

 pkts. for 25 cts., I- 1 6 oz. $1. 



Dimorphotheca s inuata. f^^^^^F ^ ?^ Equally use- 



■ tu and of the s: 



ful and of the same culture as , 

 the Dimorphotheca aurantiaca hybrida introduced by us last sea- 

 son, this new South African species distinguishes itself essentially 

 by the singularly pretty color of its flowers. They are 2M to 2K 

 inches across, and show a uniform, clear satiny buff or light chamois, 

 with a bluish disk when fully open in sunshine; the reverse of the 

 petals is purplish red. This rare coloring is quite distinct and new 

 and cannot be found amongst the many beautiful tints in yellow and 

 salmon-yellow of our Dimorphotheca attrantiaca hybrida. The 

 plants are 12 to 15 inches high, and form regularly branched bushes, 

 densely covered with numerous flowers. Foliage light green, 

 obtuse, sinuate. Novelty of great merit. Pkt. 50 cts. , 3 pkts. for $1 .25. 



Freesia hybrida nova. ^-^^ These new hybrids are the 



' result of crossing the Freesia re- 



fracta alba with Freesia Armstro?tgi, Ragionieri, Ttiberge?iii, 

 Amethyst, and others. These hybrids contain pink, red, lilac, violet, 

 yellow and orange. The plants will flower from seed about eight 

 months from time of sowing. As a novelty, these will have a great 

 future, and no doubt the raising of these hybrids will be very inter- 

 esting. Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. for $1. 



Helianthus cucumerifolius purpureus. f^g^. j^g^ 



Sunflower." This variety is not an Echinacea or Rudbeckia, but a 

 Helianthus. The flowers of this novelty vary from light pink to 

 deepest purple. The form of the flower is the same as the variety 

 Cucumerifolius. This cannot be recommended too highly for cut- 

 ting. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. for $1.
